Commanding Officer Captain William E. Ramsey, born in San Diego, Sept. 7, 1931, earned his wings as a naval aviator in March 1955, two years after graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy. In 1960, he was selected for the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in Patuxent River, Md. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the Flight Test Division at the Naval Air Test Center as a Carrier Suitability Project pilot. Captain Ramsey was the first pilot to make a nose-tow catapult launch from a carrier. He was also the first to conduct a single-engine landing aboard ship in both the F-4 Phantom and E-2C Hawkeye aircraft; to take off and recover aboard ship in the E-2C; and to perform minimum end-speed catapult launches in both aircraft. In 1962, he was one of five test pilots in the country nominated by the Society of Engineering Test Pilots for the Ivan C. Kinchloe Award as outstanding test pilot of the year. Also in 1962, he was selected by NASA as one of the final 34 pilots interviewed for the GEMINI Program, and in 1963, he was among the final group chosen for the APOLLO Program. Captain Ramsey reported the IKE from the faculty of the Naval War College where he held the Admiral Halsey Chair of Air Warfare. Captain Ramsey is married to the former Peggy Scott Booth of Coronado, Ca.
